Explanation of Solution
Closing entries: The journal entries prepared to close the temporary accounts to Retained Earnings account are referred to as closing entries. The revenue, expense, and dividends accounts are referred to as temporary accounts because the information and figures in these accounts is held temporarily and consequently transferred to permanent account at the end of accounting year.

Explanation of Solution
Post-closing trial balance:
The post-closing trial balance is a summary of all ledger accounts, and it shows the debit and the credit balances after the closing entries are journalized and posted. The post-closing trial balance contains only permanent (balance sheet) accounts, and the debit and the credit balances of permanent accounts should agree.

Prepare reversing entry.
Explanation of Solution
Reversing entries:
Several Adjusting entries are needed to update all the balances in the financial statements in order to project true financial information and to maintain the records according to accrual basis principle. Some of these adjusting entries must be reversed at the beginning of a next accounting period to simplify the recording of transactions. Reversing entry is the opposite of adjusting entry.
